The Firs School Minecraft Model

Director at The Firs School Tim Longman said: “We were inspired to do the project when we obtained detailed scale plans of the school for our new hall. This enabled us to make and plan the Minecraft model and the children really took to it, even down to details such as pictures in Mrs Davies’ office and sinks in the technology room as well as a working lift as we have in the new hall. The model was so good we felt we had to showcase it by making a film and we’re delighted that the judges agreed with us by awarding us winners in their national competition.”
